Hakehau bay, Ua Pou

Hakehau bay, Ua Pou All the islands here have a different flavor, Ua Pou has spectacular pillars left over from the volcano eruption. Each pillar is the core of a classic volcano like Chimney rock. There is a school in front of the harbor and there are lots of kids swimming and kayaking outriggers in teams or solo during recess, after school and for P.E. The locals are very friendly, a lot of young people and families live here. We happened to be anchored in Hakehau when the big supply ship Aranui, came in. The harbor is very small and we were not anchored in the best place for this enormous ship to maneuver to the dock so we had to back down on our stern anchor until we were out of his way.

Over all we were lucky with good constant wind although it did not always take us in the right direction. Only minor breakdowns, a furling line, the head, rudder shaft leak, propane locker leak and holding tank pump out leak. Nothing we could not fix temporarily under way and fix more permanently here in Nuku Hiva. The most difficult part of the journey for me was the constant violent motion that throws you off balance, and make cooking a dangerous extreme sport. We had swells coming from three directions most of the time and when they added together to one mega wave it really threw us off.

Four solitary days on Santa Barbara Island, surrounded by nature - seals, seagulls, cormorants and water spouts.

Guy bought a Nordic Folkboat in 1980 and we sailed it around in the Stockholm archipelago for a few summers.
